Ashish Mishra, the son of junior Union Home Minister Ajay Mishra who was arrested on Saturday, was not able to answer several questions about his whereabouts during last week's violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, sources in the Uttar Pradesh Police have told NDTV.
According to sources, while Ashish Mishra had said that he was at a wrestling event around 4-5 km from the scene of the violence on Sunday, the statements of police personnel posted at the event and the people there reveal that the minister's son was missing between 2 and 4 pm.
Ashish Mishra's mobile tower location at the time also shows his location in and around the crime scene, they said. Mr Mishra, however, has told the police that he was in his rice mill at the time which is closer to the crime scene under the same tower.
His alibi was further strained because of the First Information Report or FIR registered by Mr Mishra's aides against the farmers for allegedly killing three of their men including his driver Hari Om.
